#JGV is recruiting a new Editor for positive-strand RNA viruses. If you’re interested in contributing to the journal and the field, I’d be happy to share my editorial experience - please get in touch!
Congratulations to David Noyvert on acing his PhD viva! Many thanks to the excellent examiners @markohyvonen.bsky.social and Lidia Vasilieva!
🚨 New paper from the lab! 🚀 We explore “The dynamics and strategy of RNA replication in astroviruses”, now out in NAR Molecular Medicine. Many thanks to all co-authors and congratulations to David Noyvert on his first first-author paper🎉

📢 5 days left to apply for a PhD studentship in molecular virology in my lab: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
📢How do astroviruses replicate their RNA genome? Led by a talented PhD student in the lab, David Noyvert, this story identifies novel (-)sgRNA species, shows terminal features of viral RNAs, and uncovers the secret life of RNA replication dynamics and packaging!

📢Astrovirus polyprotein processing is finally uncovered - these viruses use peculiar dual cleavage sites around their protease! Led by a talented PhD student, David Noyvert, this work provides a map of astrovirus genomes. Great collaboration with @emmottlab.bsky.social @leandroxneves.bsky.social
Abstract. Astroviruses are positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses that cause significant disease across avian and mammalian hosts, yet their replicatio
We did a thing:
Scientists find a new way coronaviruses can get into human cells www.cam.ac.uk/research/new...
How does fever work?
Our new Science paper shows how elevated body temperature can protect against severe influenza and that avian-origin viruses escape this defence.
This is likely one reason why bird flus and some pandemic influenzas can be so severe.🧵

Positive-sense RNA viruses often encode large polyproteins that are proteolytically processed by viral and host proteases into functional replication proteins. Astroviruses infect intestinal and neuro...
